Citizens’ Perspectives

Connecting Patients for Better Health

Infoway regularly conducts public opinion surveys with Canadians as part of its commitment to listen to their perspectives and understand their needs. The 2018 Connecting Patients for Better Health report provides the latest availability, use and citizen interest in accessing their health information online as well as digitally enabled health services (e-services).

The results are from four public opinion surveys administered between February and March 2014 – 2018, and are nationally representative of Canadians by age, province/territory and gender.

Citizens' Vision for Better Health through Digital Solutions

To further understand what Canadians want, Infoway held the Better Health Together Workshop in March 2017. Thirty-four citizen participants from across Canada came together to learn and share about digital health. Together, they created the Citizens' Vision for Better Health through Digital Solutions.

The vision realized through this Workshop was to improve the health of Canadians and to promote true and meaningful collaboration between patients, families, and their health care providers through universally-accessible, integrated digital technologies.
